Hello mental health champions πŸ’ͺ🏼.

Sunday 1 March was Zero discrimination day. We took our time to find out more about mental health and the discrimination that surrounds mental health.
Today we want to unpack clinical and non clinic clinical mental health remedies:

1️⃣ Clinical Mental Health known as The "Treatment" Pillar) is a medical approach focused on diagnosing and managing specific disorders (like PTSD or Bipolar Disorder). It is provided by licensed professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists) who use tools like psychotherapy and medication to treat pathology and manage crises.

2️⃣ Non-Clinical Mental Health known as The "Wellness" Pillar) is a preventative approach focused on general well-being and life navigation. It is provided by community-based roles (peer supporters, coaches) who focus on shared experiences, skill-building, and addressing external stressors like living conditions, social determinants and employment status or idleness.
